Take a bow Carlitos.

Neymar score ffs.

and Bony would be excellent here.

Palace will stay up. Swansea are an outside candidate to fall into trouble. Would love to see both Swansea and Cardiff out. Take bony off them as well. With Laudrup gone I don't enjoy them.

I'd say that's been the case for a long time really, big games they will show up but against the lesser teams they tend to get very complacent. Prior to New Year they were fine, were having difficulties because of no Mesis, but after new year without Neymar it was the same story so I assumed it wasn't due to a player missing since you can't compare those two to each other in any form at the moment.

Barcelona don't look good. Neymar got better as the half went as did Messi but they still don't look good whatsoever. Night and day compared to the Man City performance.

Neymar and Messi with a hattrick each would do my weekend.

We're supposed to have approached Louis Van Gaal, among others. The main thing confounding everyone is that Sherwood's contract is for 18 months, not just this season. Were it not for that, we would all be presuming that this would just be a short-term thing. Before his appointment, Sherwood had established himself in a more entrenched role - not DOF, but something along those lines. Again, it just seems bizarre that he would risk that for a punt at the manager's job. If Levy doesn't want him to stay on as manager for the next season then he will presumably have to sack him. The 18-month contract just seems bizarre from every possible angle. Anyway, another scrappy as f*** win . Van Gaal is going to ManU. Probably get rid of Rafael the first thing. The cunt.

Hope Barcelona pisses all over Almeria because their greatest chance of title hangs purely on them now. They have GD better than Real and will most likely be a point behind. They might actually HAVE to win at Bernabeu to stand a chance.

He'll never be a true great.

Dat pass

Diego Costa pass the god damn ball. :( Koke was alone.

It's a ref in La Liga. Did you really expect anything different? But this has been more obvious than ever. Two clear penalties in my opinion anyways.

He can score in all ways.

Ref ruins it for Atletico. Feel bad for them. I'd be livid if a ref cheated this much in probably the biggest and most important derby in many many many years.

Its what football is all about. Is it f***. 90 minutes of cheating is not what football is all about. It's fun, mind. Entertainment is what it is all about. This is entertainment. But keep your norwegian self that it's not about that while countries that ''cheat'' win everything.

He's such a bad footballer as well. He's only there because he's a psycho.

What he did wasn't ok, but Pardew instigated by putting himself infront of Meyler, what was he expecting. End of the day his team was up 3-1 and he headshoved a player. He's a manager, he's supposed to manage his squad not act like a spoiled brat.

Huh? Arbeloa was all over him and then pulls his leg. Come on, my HD TV must be messed up. Thought it was a foul leading up, but he dove once he got separation. Didn't see a view that showed his leg being pulled though Looked like he ''pulled'' his leg, probably fell on it. Doubt Costa would throw himself after separation there, and like you said it was a foul from the beginning anyways.

Was thinking that at HT but Atletico have been just as good. Can see them scoring again. With the ref helping them it wouldn't surprise me. This is PL level refereeing.

What a damn save! Diego Lopez.

Burgos Jesus fucking Christ. Get a grip. Although the ref is fucking horrible. 2nd possibly 3rd penalty Diego Costa should've had today.
